This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I got into the car with a drunk driver. I don't really remember much, but I do remember waking up with the car on its side and just hurting. I mean, I'd hurt my neck, I'd hurt my back. The worst part was my leg was shattered. I really didn't know what to feel. I knew that I'd gotten in the car with the drunk driver. That felt like that was my mistake. But I wasn't the one driving and I wasn't the one that caused the accident. So I really wasn't sure how to feel. I talked to my mom and she ended up recommending just calling the Advocates. Even though it was complicated and I felt like maybe I'd made a mistake or I felt guilty. There was zero judgment from them. I felt like they were always on my side and they were always doing what was best for me. Really. It gave me my life back. I was able to stop replaying all the decisions I made and I was able to just move forward and really start rebuilding my life because the advocates really took care of everything.
B
I'm Matt with the Advocates, injury lawyers. If guilt is keeping you from getting help, just call us. Will represent you and remind you that you deserve justice. Welcome back to Last Call, everybody. I am Mike Crispy and we got a big show for you on this Saturday night on Real America's Voice. Chaos in Minneapolis as an ice officer was facing down getting killed by a crazy antifa leftist. We will break it all down and tell you what, why the politicians are stoking it to cover for the fraud. It is so predictable. And Venezuela, Greenland, what's going on with the Trump doctrine on foreign policy? We have cutting edge analysis. All that and so much more. We got a big show for you tonight. Big, big, big. I'm ready. Frankie's ready. You better be too. And let's go. We are going to be two.
C
Mike Crispy.
B
Where's Mike?
C
Man, did he make a good speech. Thank you, Mike. You have big plans for the future and we're with you.
B
And welcome back to the show, everybody. I am Mike Crispy and joining me as always, the one and only the most based producer in the game. And. And you know, he actually has more hair under that hat than the antifa leftists who met their demise, tried to kill an ice officer. You know, Frankie, they put those old pictures up of like, you know, Renee Good. It's got like the flowing hair and then when you see the real picture, it's like literally like, like skinhead bald. So, yeah, Frankie, show everybody what you're working with under the hat. Go ahead, take it off.
D
Show them the hairline might be receding. We got a kid on the way. We're a little stressed. We got a couple of grays in there, but more air, we got some.
B
Flow, we got some more air. That's a lot more hair, a lot more hair than an antifa leftist trying to kill an ICE officer. Oh, man, we're going to have a lot of fun on the show today, you know, and the first thing I want to say is that the left truly is vile of epic proportions. The right wing was never doing multibillion dollar fraud with third world pirates that come to the country with a 60 IQ. We give them billions of dollars in exchange for their voting block. We cover up for the fraud and then we try to kill the officers who come into town to stop the fraud. No, that's not us, that's them. So I just want to start by saying that anybody who says that the killing of the ice, the woman who tried to fight ICE and Charlie Kirk are the same, shame on them. F them. They are vile and disgusting. So just so you know what we're dealing with? We're dealing with true demonic forces on the left. And it's really starting to rear its ugly head. We're going to. Right at a predictable time that is election year. It always seems to happen during election year. Right. Remember the Summer of Love leading up to the 2020 election. Of course they do these things, hook, line, sinker, right when it's crunch time, they get busted on big fraud, things are coming out, billions of dollars and all hell breaks loose. You think that's an accident that all of a sudden that these people like Renee Goode started popping out more viciously and more aggressively out of the woodwork right after things like this got put out into the open? Frankie Roland, state's top cop here in Minnesota, was caught in an audio recording behind closed doors meeting with a group of soon to be convicted Somali fraudsters. They were asking the Attorney General for help to get more funding. Listen to this. The only way we can protect what.
D
We have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena, putting our votes where.
B
It needs to be, but most importantly, the putting our dollars in the right place and supporting candidates that will fight to protect our interests. That's right. You can only protect our interests. So what you just heard there is an admission to fraud. We are going to vote as a bloc and we are going to vote for politicians who act in our interest. Now do you understand why everything they advocate for and stand for seems to fly in the face of conventional wisdom? And conventionally, what would be good to people who have lived in Minnesota for the last 50, 60 years. That's cuz it's the opposite of what's good to these foreign third world, low iq, shit eating invaders who have settled and seek to conquer Minnesota as their own. That's what's going on here. Frankie loves this. And let me tell you something. And let me tell you something. What happened in Minnesota over the last couple of days with Renee Goode is one of the most disgraceful things that I've ever seen. The way that the media has spun it, even after this camera angle which we're about to show you came out, CNN was still showing the first camera angle that was available where everyone said, oh no, he shot the ice officer. Shot her through the side of the window. And she was just a mother who was trying to bring her kids. She dropped her kids off from school and was on her way back. All a sick lie. Let's roll the front angle camera footage that CNN neglected to show and then tell you who this person was. Roll it. Notice the burgundy burgundy car. Why is it parked sideways? Why is it parked sideways in the street like that where an ICE operation is underway? Why is that happening? You see there is good trained antifa agitator. Come talk to us later there. Who's that? Who's that? Oh, that's Renee Good's new partner. Seems like a joyful person. You want to come at us? I said, go get yourself some lunch. Why are they. They're provoking them. What are they doing there? Why are they stopped sideways says, get out of the car. There you go. And let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. The little, the little. That was the ice officer getting hit with the car. I love the way that the headlines got spun. They said, oh, a car. It brisked. The ice officer ran into the ice officer and he hurried out of the way. No, what you're seeing there is a mentally ill couple, leftists and tifa agitators. And you're seeing these people who are on the record. Okay, on the record, Frank, you can show this next thing here on the record of being agitators to ICE operations. This is her right here. This is Renee Goode. That's what she actually looks like. Not the pictures that they show you. And Renee Goode was one. A mentally ill person who had lived in Canada for the last couple of years. Left when Trump got elected, came back to America, no career in her entire life other than being a poet. How is she making money? She making money from antifa? Okay, got it. Has three kids, has custody of none of the kids, or sorry, sorry, let me rephrase that. Three kids has custody of one of the kids, the other two does not have custody. The father has custody. And do you know how hard it is for a father to get full custody of the kids? Do you have mentally ill? You have to be. For the father to get full custody of the kids, you have to be really jacked up in the head. Really jacked up in the head. So no job, lives in Canada, comes back her social media handle. Who did she follow on social media? Antifa. Follows the antifa accounts on social media, of course, and posted stuff like this. How to stop ice. Okay, how to stop ice. So essentially they told you, oh, this was a mother who was trapped in a tough situation that any of us could have been in as she dropped her kids off at school. Absolutely a lie. Absolutely a lie. Because let me tell you something, any of us could have been in there. No, that's not true. Cuz nobody says, I'm going to go. Well, a very small subset of the population would do it, but 99.9% of people, even leftists, would say, I don't think I'm gonna see what law enforcement is doing in the area today beyond the payroll to where they tell me they're gonna hire the lawyers and bail me out of jail and pay me to do it because I have no job. I'm gonna go to that. I'm gonna park my car sideways in the middle of the road while they're conducting legal operations to get rid of Somali criminals. Okay, I'm gonna go park my car there. And when they say get out of the car again, I myself have been pulled over. Of course, we all have. And when the officer asks you for things, you do what they say. And if you do what they say in a respectful manner, you either get a ticket, you either get arrested, or they let you go. And usually it's a non event. This person was in the 1/1,000th of 1% paid antifa thug. And you know what? Life is not a video game. If you try to run them over again. These people don't have good judgment skills, don't have good. They're not trained killers, they're just paid actors and paid agitators. So of course when the guy tries to open it, the woman goes forward. The ICE officer there you See, right there is hit. He fires his bullet, which is totally legal from a federal agent perspective. Totally legal in federal code, that you can do that because that's a 5,000 pound weapon barreling at him. The partner is out of the car, provoking the agent right there, holding that thing, menacing them, going around, all that stuff. And the guy fires a shot through the windshield from the front. You saw CNN and the New York Times saying that it came from the side. Okay, Frankie, put this on this next thing on the screen, then we're gonna. Yeah, put this here. This is what New York Times was saying. A New York Times analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, when he reported the fire. You see the way they misrepresent it there with the little circle with the gun and all that? We just showed you the camera angle. New York Times. You want to retract your statement? You disgusting pigs. So this couldn't have happened to anybody. This is very niche. This was organized. Meaning that they had this woman go out there, okay? As the situation was becoming more severe, as the fraud was intensifying, as the ICE agents were flooding the zone to get the fraudsters out, this person, mentally leftist, with nothing in her entire life, who works for Antifa, is basically summoned and assembled to go there and destroy and destruct these lawful operations. And no training, no nothing, just a domestic terrorist essentially tries to kill the officer in a moment of panic, I guess, and is killed for trying to kill the officer. That's what happened. Yes, Frankie, go ahead.
D
I mean, Mike, I'd argue that the reason the New York Times, cnn, NBC, the reason they're all pushing this and saying this is because they have blood on their hands, Mike. Because these lunatics on the left, like this woman, they are propped up by these outlets saying, you know, for months, since January when Trump came in, look at these ICE people. This is all illegal. They shouldn't be here. You should. You should jump in front. You should stop them. This is all illegal. Send them back to where they came. This is, you know, I'm not putting all the blame on them, but they're pushing these lunatics that direction. Jasmine Crockett, leftist Congress, they 100%.
B
Yeah, they say these operations are illegal. Go get in the middle of it and break it up. It's your civic duty. Go do that. What they fail to say is that this is the real world, that if you try to kill somebody, they have guns, which they're lawfully allowed to have, and they will Fire the gun in self defense for their life, which they're legally allowed to do if you try to ram the car at them. And again, a person like that has no trading in, nothing. They're a fat Puffy. She's 37 years old, no money, no job, lost the kids. Husband said the ex husband said she's mentally ill. What the hell was she doing there? She had no business to be there. There should be no sympathy for her. Essentially. That's what he said. He basically said she did it to herself, which she did. And there's a big fundamental difference. The leftists who say this are absolutely vile and disgusting. It shows you cannot negotiate with terrorists. Charlie Kirk was on a campus speaking to college kids, minding his own business. And Renee Goode was engaged in domestic terrorism to help Somalis, by the way. You think the Somali criminals care about Renee Goode? So what? You die for Renee Goode. What a disgrace. It's actually sad. It's actually. I will have some sadness on the show tonight because it's actually sad that they manipulate these people and whip them up to this extent to where they lose their life for nothing. Not one Somali cares that Renee Goode is dead. Not one. They don't care. And the left doesn't care either. They only care about covering up the fraud. And you cover up the fraud with chaos. You have ICE agents coming in to get rid of the fraudsters. Again, the daycare stuff happens. Billions of dollars out in the open. Jacob Fry, Keith Ellison, Tim Walls, all implicated at the source. So I actually said, yeah, you know, they're probably gonna do something to try to cover that up. That's what these people do. And on cue, a week later, this is happening where, you know, inevitably again, they don't say to Renee Goode, go there, try to run the guy over and then, you know, go get killed. No, they don't do that. They take the most impressionable, weak minded, mentally brainwashed people. They ramp up the rhetoric in their little antifa group chats and they ramp up the instructions to be very specific. You have hundreds of Rene goods around the city, by the way, and then one of them gets out of hand like this. And that's how it happens. One of them will go super crazy and they want something like that to happen so they can use it as a distraction. And for the first time in history, it's now being acceptable by one political party that if there is a crime being committed and law enforcement comes in to stop the crime, if the law enforcement coming in to stop the crime is met with hostility from more criminals then therefore the law enforcement to should leave and not stop the crime. That's where we're at right now at the Democrat Party's logic. Are you kidding me? Let's listen to Jacob Fry. Roll it.
E
And I have a message for ICE to ice. Get the Minneapolis, we do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety. And you are doing exactly, exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. Long term, Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized. And now somebody is dead. That's on you. And it's also on you to leave. It's on you to make sure that further damage, further loss of life and injury is not done.
B
Look at the DEI thug behind him. You think that woman passed the push up test? You think she can do 20 push ups in a row? She wears the officer's uniform. You think she can do 20 push ups in a row? I'm just a podcaster, okay? I will have a push up contest with a very serious law enforcement person behind Jacob Fry. I think Frankie could beat her in a push up contest. And Frankie doesn't even pump iron like I do.
D
That was a little bit of a dig.
B
It's a joke. I don't know. I'm saying you don't pump iron, Frank. You press some buttons. But I'm saying even you can do more push ups there. Not a dig. So Jacob Fry there, get the fuck out. Like he rehearsed that in front of the mirror before he went there. He says that citizens are being terrorized. Renee Goode wasn't a citizen. Renee Goode, just like the profile of all the antifa people. We're not longtime citizens of Minneapolis. People like Renee Goode, just like all these antifa people, seems to follow a trend. They all come in at the last minute as these things are bubbling up. Come in a couple months ago. They're going from this location to that location, just where the iron is hot. Where they can go cash a check to cause some chaos. The lawyers will handle it. They'll bail them out. They'll do it. I'm telling you, the way that CNN has covered this and the way the mainstream media has covered it. I was watching Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona and he was saying, well, Ashley Babbitt was a traitor because she didn't obey law enforcement's command to get back. But this woman who disobeyed law enforcement clearly you see it on the video. And then tried to ram a 5,000 pound weapon into an ICE officer. There should be a full review of it. And you cannot compare the two. That's what people like Ruben Gallego, supposedly moderate members of the U.S. senate say. That's disgusting. Where are our senators pushing back on that? Ashley Babbitt was unarmed. Ashley Babbitt was in a crowd of people. Ashley Babbitt was a veteran, not a mentally ill, transient wanderer living in Canada, in America. Poets. The guy just fired indiscriminately in the crowd. Where was the CNN outrage on that? And by the way, for all these people who say, you know, he didn't have to fire the weapon, didn't have to do that, There have been examples of situations just like this where they don't fire the weapon. And take a look what happens. Roll it. As the Jeep continued to advance, Officer.
D
Caprio got off one shot.
F
WJZ won't show the rest, but a somber jury saw and heard Amy Caprio dying from massive crushing injuries.
B
There you go. She was crushed to death. That could have been that officer. Let me tell you something. The snow on the ground on that street, if there was no snow, and there's a little bit of traction on that tire, Split second. He's dead. He's dead. Does anybody talk about it? Does anybody care? No. These people are disgusting. And let's roll this. Frankie. This is what, of course is happening. The predictable George Floyd style protest. Roll it. Big beauty will pay. Big beauty will pay. All right, so Christy Gnome. Christy Gnome will hang, they're saying. Interesting. That sounds like insurrection. Speak to me. There you go. What's going on here? All right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back with so much more.

B
And welcome back to the show, everybody. Mike Crispy here. Thanks for sticking with us on this Saturday night. Real America's on Voice. An absolutely tuned up show. It's funny, last week we had huge numbers on the show and we were talking about Minnesota, we're talking about Venezuela. You never know what you're going to get in the news. Every week it seems like we have the same two topics and probably in an even crazier show than we had last week into this week. Like I said in last week's show, it's going to be quite a year. Now. One of the main storylines I think that's going to develop this year is the geopolitical strategy of pressing the ball down the field around the globe. A lot of these people, they play patty cake, you know, play patty cake like this, right? That's Frankie with his new baby. Okay? They're playing patty cake. They're not really doing anything to protect the interests of America. They're just trading money around and not accomplishing anything. They talk tough like Joe Biden used to talk tough about Maduro, Remember that? But they don't actually do anything. They talk about the threat of Russia, but they don't actually do anything. They call Trump a Russian asset. But when push comes to shove, Trump does things to keep Russia in line. Again, that doesn't mean threatening nuclear war, but he does things that are in the interest of America. Same thing with China where Tim Walls, Joe Biden, they've all sold out. They've all sold out. So President Trump, I think right now, I think one of the greatest things you're seeing from him in the last couple of months and into the next three years, I think is gonna be the foreign policy. Because he can operate on this foreign policy stuff without the radical left able to come in and slow it down. Like with some of the domestic agenda, the powers of the president internationally are very much executive branch oriented. And that's a good thing. Okay? Because Trump is doing good things for the world. Now when the left freaks out about Greenland, I say, why are they getting upset about. Why is the left getting upset about Greenland, just because Trump supports it. Like, can you name me one reason why the US Purchasing Greenland is a bad thing? Leftists. Oh, well, then the United States is going to own them, and it's the United States, and they should be their own people. They're owned by Denmark, so. So why exactly? Oh, you're the same people say, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia bad. Putin evil. Who is working with Greenland right now? Who's got their ships off of the coasts of Greenland right now? Oh, Russia. Interesting. So you don't want America to own it because some foreign country will own it. That already happens today, and that's interesting. And then Russia and China, who you admit is a foe, they're closing in. And I thought they were the biggest adversaries. Now they're not. You just don't want Trump to do it. You just don't want Trump to get the win. Here's Trump talking about Greenland, which I think is gonna be taken here either the easy way or the hard way. As Trump would say in the next couple of months this year, roll it to get them on board with a.
C
Possible US I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that. But right now, we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not. Because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're gonna do it the hard way.
B
There you go. We're gonna do it the hard way. If they don't like it, what is Denmark gonna do? And by the way, people are like, oh, Mike, you sound like such a neocon. I'm not a neocon. This is how the world was built, dummies. You know what the Louisiana Purchase is like. Shut up. Like, this is how the world has always been. People with force can take things from people who don't have force. And the only reason that stopped is because there was a deal between the United States and these other countries to export the wealth and make America weaker to water down the playing field. America should be number one. Own what they want in what's best interest for the people. The prosperity and the wealth goes to the people. And that's the way it's always been. All of a sudden, they're saying, no, we shouldn't do that. Okay, so then Denmark should. Why is it a bad thing that America should do things for its Own interests. And the Greenland thing is 100% in its own interest. It's right there. Denmark's not going to do anything. The Europeans think lowly of us. They don't do anything for us. And we'll either take it the easy way or the hard way. Did you see what we did in Venezuela? I said with the Venezuela thing, it sent the message around the world that we don't play games. And why is that a bad thing? Denmark's controlling it militarily from a thousand miles away. Why can't a stronger military control it militarily from a thousand miles away when nobody really likes America? And if they act like they like America, that's just them ripping us off and saying nice things to our face. It's a joke. Yes, Frankie.
D
It's just incredible because, Mike, I mean, we have. There are territories in Canada that France still owns, you know, like France owns like half the Caribbean. You know, they own Guadalupe. Like, where's that conversation?
B
Like, oh, why do they still own all these territories?
D
They're European superpower. What are we. What are we talking about?
B
What a joke. Yeah. So are these people, Are these people going and protesting the Caribbean islands down there? Okay. Because it's still under British occupation. They fly the flag of the. Of the UK. I mean, what's going on? Go to St. Bart's so what Trump is doing. Exactly. Yeah. Go to Saint bars. What Trump is doing is how this nation was built. So I don't believe, and I think it's a watered down interpretation. This is neocon behavior. No, it's not. This is American greatness. This is the American empire. This is American exceptionalism. This is the Founding Fathers. This is prosperity for us because we're the greatest country in the history of the world. And why is that a big bad thing? And also, you know what? This is too. This is the fact that the Europeans just don't like us very much anymore. They don't like us. This is a chart here, how Germans think about Americans. Okay? You guys know that Germans, German citizens have as unfavorable a view of Americans as they do Russians. So it's like, oh, we're like this, you know, this, this super morality, you know, and these are our allies and they like us. These people don't like us. These people don't respect us. These people make money and mooch off of us and we get nothing in return. What have we gotten in return? Post World War II, what's happened to America? Did we win the war? Have we benefited greatly? What's happened from 1940s, mid-1940s to now, not a very long time period. Did we win the war? What happened? No, our country's being hollowed out from within. Everybody knows it, everybody sees it. Everybody watches American presidents again. What's the difference? Everyone's like, oh, well, like, you know, Trump is trying to get these things. Well, the other presidents just gave away things, so what's the difference? It's the same action you're either giving or taking away. And why shouldn't we expand the American empire to have more? Just like our founding fathers did when they did the Louisiana Purchase, when they got New Mexico and they fought the wars for Texas. This is how it goes. And it's not yours if you can't keep it. You know, it's funny. Is that like, the dollar, Frankie, what is the dollar backed by? Do you know what the dollar is backed by? What's the dollar backed by?
A
Oil.
B
Okay, what's that backed by?
D
What's oil backed by? All right, yeah, help me.
B
It's back by you throwing me. You throwing me the military power. Military power. That everything is backed by military power, okay? That's what it is. If you have that's. Everyone's like, oh, well, you know, this is. They. They always have, like. You know, like, they show, like, the bombers, the B2 bomb. Like, well, this is why Americans don't have free health care. It's like a joke, but it's actually. I actually was thinking about this. I'm like, everything comes back to the American military. The dollar's not backed by gold, okay? Frankie is right about the petrodollar with oil. You can't get oil around the world unless you convert it to dollars. Nixon set that up. But what's all that backed by? It's backed by the American military, the strongest military in the history of the world. So when they want to put. Think about this. Leaders of our country know this. When they want to put the trannies in the high military ranks and have the pregnant women with their flight suits go fly the B2 bombers, what does that say about how much they want to destroy America from within, when the only thing that backs America is the might of our military? It's interesting, isn't it? So the minute we don't have that anymore, the minute we're out game militarily, the dollar is backed by nothing. And if you're a foreign country and you want to do business with any other country, you're going to do business with America because, you know, the dollar's Solid because you know the country isn't falling anytime soon because the American military might is far superior. Cuz we can do things like go take Maturo in two seconds. So does that make you think of things in a perspective? Like the way, the way these liberals talk, like how it's like very un American and then they freaked out about this. That Trump said, which I thought was probably one of his. You know, the kids say it's the coldest. You know, that means like, it's like, it's like steely, it's cool, it's poised, it's badass. You know, this is one of the coldest lines you've ever heard in American political history. I like this. Roll it.
A
Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage? Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted to?
C
Yeah, there's one thing. My own morality, my own mind. It's the only thing that can stop.
B
Not international law.
C
And that's very good. I don't need international law. I'm not looking to.
B
But. But international law. International law. What is international law? Who wrote international law? I think I've said this on a prior show. International law was something that they put in place to water down the United States, make us play by an unruly standard because we're the only ones who are going to have to abide by international law. Nobody abides by it anyway because the consequence of their nation doesn't really matter. International law, Frankie, I don't know if these people just actively root for America to fall or they're just mentally ill. Not quite as mentally ill as Renee Goode, but mentally ill enough to where they've been like, psy up by these globalists who like, want America to like, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall like slow crumble that like, they can't grasp these concepts. What do you think, Frankie?
D
Well, I think that people are finally starting to realize why the escalators stopped at the UN this year or last year. But I mean, that's the whole point. It's like the un, it's all nonsense to ruin the United States. And they do all of these covert moves to just chisel and chisel and chisel. And most of our government, unfortunately is like, you know, backed by these psychopaths. So when we have a leader that's saying, I don't care, it's incredible.
B
It's beautiful.
G
Chef's kiss.
B
Is that boy, my crispy pizza. It really. That's right. It really is beautiful. So how's it going? Oh, Trump is Flying in the face of international law. Let's see how that's going to put this next on the screen here. This is a chart. U.S. drug overdose deaths. You know, when the chart was higher, we were abiding by international law. Now you can see that the overdose deaths are plummeting, I guess because we're not abiding by international law. How's that working out? So when we were abiding by it, China was making billions of dollars killing our people on the fentanyl trade. And now that we're not abiding by it anymore, looks like more Americans are living and China isn't making money. Ooh, that's interesting. It is funny how they melt down about things like that. And like things like this that the White House put out. You put this next thing, Frankie, where they go, this is our hemisphere. The White House X account put that out, and all the leftists had a meltdown. Oh, my goodness. How could he say that? What's the alternative? That it's not our hemisphere? You don't want it. You want it to be Mexico's hemisphere. You want it to be Russia and China's hemisphere. Got it? God, it sounds good. So Russia and China are dealing with in Venezuela. Russia and China are dealing in Greenland. Russia and China are dealing with the Panama Canal, which we got straightened out in the first week of the administration, if you remember that. And now people are upset that Trump is straightening out the chaotic situation in Venezuela. I do want to talk about the Venezuelan situation for a minute because, again, you see a lot of people, look, it's regime change. And, you know, this is more regime change. Here's what I think is going on here. And a lot of people are talking about this woman, Maria Machado. Here's what I've gathered from researching the situation. Okay? How could Trump. Well, you know, half the side. You know, the neocon. Well, Trump needs to install Machado. And the other side, the people are mad that Trump did it. Trump is a neocon because he went into Venezuela. No, no, no. Let me explain this the best I can. What happened was, was that Maduro federalized the oil completely in a way that his predecessor did not. His predecessor knew how to play ball. His predecessor produced a lot more oil, people made a lot more money around the world. Things were a little bit more open. Maduro was one of his cronies, okay? And usually the cronies aren't as smart, as slick as the guy who comes up to power on his own. So Maduro, who's not a Very smart guy, takes control and the oil production goes from here to, to here, okay, Obviously harming, you know, the global oil supply. And at the same time he's making deals with China and Russia. So you see the situation where the oil's going down big time. China and Russia are moving in, the oil has been federalized where it's totally in control of one guy and that one guy is now in the pocket of China and Russia. And if you're doing that with the oil, okay, where you're giving it to China and Russia and the supply is cut off to the other countries because you're not making that much, you're just giving it to China, Russia and China. Russia are in there, they're making deals with Maduro, they're getting the rare earth, all that stuff. What do you think's happening at that point? Oh, the military might is getting stronger for China and Russia and then they have a presence there, they have military bases there, all that stuff. So all that's going on. What are we just going to let it happen? Do you let it happen until it's too late? Do you let it happen until the military might of China and Russia are bigger now? People say, Mike, oh, this is. Trump is going down the neocon path. Here's where I don't think he's going down the neocon path. Trump is not regime changing. Trump does not take this woman Machado seriously. My goodness, she's a freedom fighter. Hold on a minute, let me talk a little bit about that. Go look back at the way in which the Trump administration has tried to engage with this woman. They try to have meetings with her, Rick Renell, all this, the envoys, she's totally unprepared. She doesn't know how to do it. She doesn't know how to assemble the government. She's not gonna go beat the militia groups with the guns. She's just a feel good face for democracy. And even when the Trump administration tried to hold meetings with her, she either didn't show up to the meetings or she showed up totally unprepared. So here's what I think Trump is doing. I think Trump is not gonna, here's my prediction here on the show from, you know, thinking about Trump, studying Trump, you know, foreign policy. I don't think he's being a neocon. I think he's making strategic global moves and I don't think it's going to result in a civil war that causes unrest. Cuz he's not going to try to regime change and enforce Democracy on them like we did in Afghanistan for a decade, where we tell them, oh, don't wear the burqas and the hijabs and the women can go to school. Flying in the face of what the people culturally, like, the real people, the people in the, you know, in the hills and who live in the little caves with their guns. Like, we're not messing with those people, actually, we're probably paying off those people to allow us to go extract the oil now that we show that we're in power and we're not going to try to regime change it with this cooked liberal woman. Okay? So, like, that's what's going on. So I actually think that Trump, what he did was he basically took out Maduro because he said, all right, you guys changed the game here. We were doing it fine for the last 50 years before Maduro. You federalize the oil, you plummeted the supply. Hey, vice President, you're going to be next. Okay, why don't you run it a little bit better? Why don't you open it up a little bit the way it should be? And then all the militia people out there, here's some money, warlord, this person that don't mess with us as we take the resources and get rich. So China and Russia don't do it and work with Maduro and make them stronger. And they put military bases there. It's not worried about Maduro or worried about China, Russia putting their bases there, making a lot of money. So then their military supplants the power of the US Military to see how with Trump, we could do it without sending in boots on the ground to see how with Trump, we could do it without propping up a Democratic leader. And then do you see how the people are baiting Trump into getting, like, a regime change war? The same people who call him out for that are now baiting him into it. Oh, are you going to make Machado the president? How's Machado going to rule as the president? How's she gonna overcome the militia groups? Because she couldn't even show up to a meeting with Rick Grenell. She had no plan for any type of transition and all that. Again, that's the perspective on this thing that I don't think many people are talking about. Frankie, what say you?
D
Yeah, I'm just reading the tea leaves here. Nobody really knew who Maria Machado was until the Nobel Peace Prize. And I'm just. I'm reading the tea leaves and I think I know who's winning next this year. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say.
B
You think you know what I think.
D
I know who's gonna win this year. And his name is Donald Trump.
B
Yeah. Well, that is the breakdown of Venezuela. That's why I think what Trump is doing is the right move. That's why I think he's not being a neocon. My prediction, just saying it for better from worse. Machado will never be the president there because Trump is doing things differently. This is why it's not a neocon move versus some people, I think are looking at it over simplistically, but who are saying Trump is being a neocon. Boom. There you go. All right, guys, quick break. We'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. And welcome back to the show, everybody. Mike Crispy here. Thanks for being with us. It has been, I think, probably, really, you can't start the year with two crazier shows than the two shows that we've had over the last two weeks. So this is going to be quite a year. And where else can you get analysis from your two favorite paisans, Mike Crispy and producer Frankie, Then here. Last call. Let's go. Now, I do want to show this clip because a lot has been made. I mentioned it at the very beginning of the show. The way in which the radical left cannot be reasoned with. Ruben Gallego talking about Ashley Babbitt, people talking about Charlie Kirk, which seems to be a mainstream leftist talking point. Elwell, you know, Charlie Kirk, listen to Jasmine Crockett. I mean, it's just. It almost feels slimy to even say what they're saying. That's how you know it's so bad when they're conflating the two. Roll it.
A
I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed. Do you? Do you remember what our response was? Our response wasn't to sit there and pretend like it was okay. Is it okay because you have a badge? Because the last time I checked, allegedly, no one is above the law. Can y' all not just have a little bit of courage and humanity?
B
Ah, a child. Are you kidding me? What a freak. What a freak. That's U.S. senate candidate in Texas, Jasmine Crockett. Remember, she had the poorly produced and choreographed announcement event. What a joke. That's Jasmine Crockett right there. Jasmine Crockett is an utter disgrace. Now, it's funny because Jasmine Crockett voted against that Charlie Kirk bill to honor him. The House resolution voted against it. And I believe she called Jasmine Crockett was in the camp of calling him A Christian nationalist and saying she did not have any sympathy for him. I'm old enough to remember Jasmine Crockett being one of those people and she's crying, oh, no one is above the law. I agree. No one's above the law. So therefore the organizers, and I will say this too, the organizers, the people who sent out Renee Goode, those people should be apprehended and arrested and charged as an accessory to murder immediately and attempted murder. Because that woman is dead because of the antifa organizers who sent her there. Let me tell you something. It's disgusting. It is absolutely disgusting. And that's where I think that, you know, the Trump administration should really focus on. Like if I had a wish list, if I could check something off, I'd want them to go after these organizers. Cuz these organizers, these antifa organizers. Again, Pam Bondi said she would go after them in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. She said she would go after the left wing domestic terror organizations. This happened because of left wing domestic terror organizations, did it not? So, Pam Bondi. Keshe Patel. Keshe Patel, can you please, please do this? Please. Kash Patel, please, I'm begging you. What are you doing, Cash? Go after the organizers of Antifa. Because this woman, Renee Goode. If you wanna talk about who killed Renee Goode and nobody's above the law, according to Jasmine Crockett, I would then say, yeah, you know what, the antifa organizer should be responsible for the death of Renee Goode, not the guy that Renee Goode tried to kill with her car and then he shot in self defense. That woman wouldn't be there if she didn't have a paid gig to go block that street that day and impede the ICE proceedings. Okay, I mean that's. This is about what? How did she make money? She was a poet. 37 year old poet moving back and forth from Canada to the United States of America. Had no connections to Minneapolis. Actually it only moved to Minneapolis a couple of months prior before this happened. So very much obviously seeming like an agent of chaos. Very much a domestic terror cell. That's who she is. And again, that's the domestic terrorist cell of Antifa. The liberal white women. Destabilized liberal white women. So Jasmine Crockett. I agree, no one's above the law. So therefore Pam Bondi and Keshe Patel need to hold the antifa organizers accountable. It is long overdue. And again, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna wait and I'm gonna see because we got three years ahead of us. And I'm gonna say I will judge them on the body of their work. I know things don't always happen instantaneously. I know George Soros, everyone's like, oh well, Soros is funding it. Billions of dollars antifa, lock them up. I get it. You gotta build the case, you gotta get the warrant, you gotta get the evidence, you gotta do the wiretaps, you gotta do all this stuff. I get it. But I want to see action on this this year. I really do. I hope there's action on this this year. Because those organizers who put that woman there, there are many more of them and they're the ones who are going to start. I'm telling you, they're going to start. George Floyd style protests around the country leading up to the midterms against ice. I've always predicted this and now it's coming out tenfold. They're doing it in New York, they're going to do it around the country, they're going to start doing it in other countries just like George Floyd. And they're going to say it's a national stance against the United States and the ICE Gestapo. That's what they're going to do. I'm telling you right now, that's going to happen. And my question is, are Republicans going to be ready to counter that for the midterms or are they going to go on Fox News Sean Hannity show and disgrace and desecrate MAGA hats by making some other hat and convince us that it may matters, but it's really a full throated regime change hat. The only meaning of this hat is American tax dollars and possibly boots on the ground and getting attacked in our country. This is what this hat represents. Are we going to focus on fighting what's coming? What I'm telling you is coming. When I see Jasmine Crockett, when I see these protests, when I see the ICE stuff, when we see the antifa, are we going to focus on fighting that or are we going to do bullshit like this? Roll it. So I pray and hope that 2026.
G
Will be.
B
What, the year that we make Iran great again. I want to know the Fox News viewer who goes, yeah, yeah, Lindsey, we're going to make Iran great again. Are you kidding me? And then I see these influencers again. There's certain influencers out there that I see and they always have some questionable content and all of a sudden out of nowhere, you know, they're paid. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, they're boosting up reasons that we should care about Iran. We're going to restore the Shah and we're going to do this and we're going to do that. And here's what I say. You put Iran on notice. You bombed Fordeau, you sent a message that was great, they didn't retaliate. Now you're saying make Iran great again. What does that mean? Do we try to make Afghanistan great again? We're going to fight a country that has a nuclear program and nuclear allies. Put some screen, Frankie, and then go ahead. This is Iran. Medics described overwhelmed hospitals as protest continues. So right now there is mass casualty events occurring in Iran. Obviously the Iranian government isn't good, but what's happening right now is that elements of the globalists are sowing chaos in Iran. It's obvious Lindsey Graham is putting on the hat. He's telling us what's going on. You have the military industrial complex who want the war with Iran cuz they want to make billions of dollars. And I'm not okay with American citizens going over there because that's what these people want to push. They want to push American citizens going over there. And you know what? They might just try to wait until after Trump's out of office because I know Trump's not going to send them there, but they might wait until a weaker person is there, whether it's a Democrat or whether it's a weaker Republican advance, can't get it or something like that. They will wait it out and they will start the chaos now. And then in a couple of years they'll do a Ukraine and say, look, the chaos has been going on for years. We need to have military intervention and stop this. And we've been talking about it for years. Make Iran great again and convince you to care and convince you to have an Afghanistan 2.0 all over again. We can't fall for it. Obviously this is a globalist, whether it's CIA or whoever, that's who right now is causing this chaos in Iran all of a sudden. And you have people like Lindsey Graham all of a sudden parroting and making the hats, some of these influencers out there. What's going on, Frankie? Go ahead.
D
Yeah, I mean, I'll just say as far as, you know, our boy Lindsey Graham, AKA Lady G, you know, how many times can you be booed by hundreds of thousands of people at a Trump rally? You know, like, it's not like he doesn't know the message and that everyone hates him, but it just shows like how much he's on the take that he Just keeps going for war.
B
Ukraine, you guys got this. You could take Russia. He doesn't.
D
It's unbelievable.
B
He doesn't even. He doesn't even care. I mean, that's saying he doesn't even care. You know why he doesn't care about the booze? Cuz he doesn't serve the people. Again, you're elected to be a senator. You're supposed to serve the people. The people are your masters. He doesn't serve them. So what does he care? He'll get $50 million for his reelection campaign every single time. As long as he does things like that. Bs because the military industrial complex are donating heavily to his coffers. That's how it works. By the way. I just want to say this before we end the segment. The last time I was in Washington, D.C. i was in the Willard Hotel and I was walking in the lobby and I saw Lindsey Graham, okay? I was like, from here to the camera lens, okay? Him and his aide. And he was just a sad little man, let me tell you, hunched over, bad posture, weak and frail. And I said, it really is insane how little vermin like that, okay, call themselves Republicans, go on Fox News and then ultimately just want to make billions of dollars for certain people and have young people in our country, vibrant, young, talented people, die overseas so they can make the money and keep getting reelected and keep clinging to their power. It is an absolute disgrace. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We're right back to wrap the show. Don't go any. And welcome back to the show, everybody. Mike Crispy here. It has been an unbelievable episode here as we continue to cover the chaos going on in the United States and around the globe. And I do think that, again, like I said earlier in the show, the Democrats are going to try to make this ICE thing the center point of the midterms. But I think it's ironic that the most loud voices in against ICE are the foreigners. The people who have no semblance or sense of community when it comes to America. It's funny because people like Chicken Fry say, oh, you know, people have lived in Minnesota for a long time are really upset. I would dare him to find a group of more than five people who have lived in Minnesota their entire life who like what's going on. The people who are telling ICE to get lost fall in two camps. One, they're either making a lot of money to save, sell out their own country, okay. Or two, they are foreigners. How have we gotten to the position where we have Foreigners who could barely speak English, who are telling us in an authoritative position that the law enforcement agents who are out there, the only people are willing to be out there to keep our country, our country, that they are bad and that they should leave and that we should do what these foreign leftists say. Just watch this clip and laugh with me for a second. Roll it. Let me say to this, federal agencies and ice. This is Oregon. We do not need you. You're not welcome, and you need to get the hell out of. That's all he can muster. That's all he could read through Google Translate and memorize. That's it. That's right. That's in Portland right now, where you have the CHOP and Chaz autonomous zones. You have ultimate chaos. The city's been totally hollowed out, and people like that got elected. Everyone's like, oh, you know, immigration is good as long as it's full fledged legal immigration. We should have unlimited legal immigration. Absolutely not. When you abuse the visa system and you abuse the asylum process and all that stuff, even the legal immigrants turn into people like that because they don't care about America. What do they care? They have zero connection or care to the history of this country. That is why I believe that we are well ordered not only to do mass deportations, we should have an immigration moratorium and we should do denaturalization of anybody we know. We're reviewing visas for, like, people who make comments anti Semitism. How about this? If they make anti American comments, we should denaturalize people immediately. Kick them out of the country. And we should have immigration moratorium, full stop, so we can clean up this mess. Otherwise, we will not have a country anymore. We're gonna be ruled by more people. Third world shithole. People who came over here in the last 10 years or now are speaking to us in a position of authority like that. Go ahead, Frankie.
D
It's just wild to me with all of these, like, they can barely speak English. Like, you'd think they'd be playing the long game, you know, have children in America, have them not, you know, you know, actually not have a horrible accent and be able to actually speak English and then push their agenda. You know what I mean? But I mean, for American people to watch a press conference like that where these people are not even able to muster up the word you. You'd think that they just play the long game, but they're just shoving it right in the American's face. It's just.
B
It's.
D
It's wild to watch and you see these people in the background, they look like they're literal hostage. Let me say these are hostage, you.
B
Know, yes, they've sold out. They've completely sold out. And you know, it's funny because what Trump's doing right now around the world, it's like the last bastion, the last thread of anybody giving a damn about America. It's like. It's the last thread of it being like how it used to be when the country was actually really great. Oh, great. What are you talking about? Racism? It has nothing to do with that, you simple minded buffoon. It has to do with American exceptionalism, the identity of the country, the power of the country. They sold out. I mentioned earlier the Bidens were involved in that. Here's a little archive footage from 2022. The Bidens, what were they doing? And celebrating and touting. It's funny how the criminals always go back to the. The scene of the crime. Isn't that what they say? Roll this.
F
First Lady Jill Biden making a stop in Minnesota today to tout the country's investments in child care. She was joined by Governor Walls and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. During a visit this afternoon to the University of Minnesota. Biden highlighted major investments in child care through the American Rescue Plan. Billions of dollars in funding have helped states like Minnesota keep health care and child care providers open and boost pay for childcare workers during the pandemic. First lady says there's still more work.
B
To be done, though the challenges families face didn't just start with COVID 19. And we need fundamental changes if we hope to build back better than before.
F
More than 130,000 child care providers across the country have received federal funding last.
B
Year the state of Minnesota, and it is now unraveling as one of the biggest money laundering, foreign influence, importation rackets in the history of our country. Let me tell you something. Trump said it the other day when he was talking to the House Republicans. Why did they impeach Biden? They're gonna impeach Trump again if they get any chance to do it. Why did they impeach Biden? The criminality was there all along. These people, the criminals. Trump said. But Republicans are too nice. I completely agree. It is all out there for us to see. See how truly vile and bad it is right there. Biden was there touting, we're going to build back better. Build back betterment fraud and import the third world. Just like we said when they called the Grace Replacement Theory a conspiracy. Remember that there's no conspiracy now. There it is. All right, guys, that's all the time we have. We love you, appreciate you. We'll see you back live next week.

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Mike Crispi
Producer: Frankie
Date: January 11, 2026
This episode dives into recent events in Minneapolis involving a confrontation between an Antifa-affiliated agitator and an ICE officer, exploring the political and media narratives around the incident. It further examines broader issues of immigration, election-year chaos, American foreign policy under Trump, and the perceived erosion of American values and identity. The conversation is unapologetically right-leaning, with Crispi and Frankie emphasizing skepticism toward mainstream media, Democratic politicians, and globalist policies.
Incident Breakdown:
Mike and Frankie dissect the case of Renee Goode, describing her as a radical leftist, mentally ill agitator associated with Antifa, who was killed after allegedly trying to ram her car into an ICE officer.
Fraud & Political Corruption Allegations:
The hosts claim that Minnesota politicians, including the AG, are complicit in large-scale fraud involving Somali immigrants and use chaos (like this incident) as a smokescreen for these activities.
"We give them billions of dollars in exchange for their voting block. We cover up for the fraud and then we try to kill the officers who come into town to stop the fraud." — Mike Crispi [03:09]
Mainstream Media Accusations:
The hosts accuse CNN and the New York Times of persistent dishonesty about the event—using misleading footage and suggesting the ICE officer fired at a fleeing vehicle.
"New York Times. You want to retract your statement? You disgusting pigs." — Mike Crispi [10:08]
Timestamps:
Predictable Patterns:
The hosts draw parallels between current events and the 2020 election cycle, arguing that surge in chaos and violence is orchestrated by the left to distract from their scandals ([07:30–09:45]).
Manipulation of Impressionable Activists:
Crispi claims Leftist leaders and media whip up vulnerable, mentally unstable individuals to act out—leading to tragic results, which are then cynically exploited for political gain.
"They take the most impressionable, weak-minded, mentally brainwashed people...They ramp up the rhetoric in their little Antifa group chats..." — Mike Crispi [13:02]
Liberal Politicians’ Stance:
Mayor Jacob Frey's speech is critiqued for supposedly defending non-citizens engaging in criminal activities at the expense of native Minnesotans.
Comparative Outrage & Hypocrisy:
The hosts contrast responses to Ashley Babbitt (Jan. 6) and Renee Goode, noting the supposedly selective outrage from Democrats and media.
"Ashley Babbitt was unarmed...Ashley Babbitt was a veteran, not a mentally ill, transient wanderer..." — Mike Crispi [17:29]
[Protests & Political Rhetoric]
Clip of a George Floyd-style protest is played, mocking protestors for (as the host puts it) “crying insurrection now that the shoe’s on the other foot.” ([18:23])
Timestamps:
Greenland Acquisition Proposal:
Crispi and Frankie lament media and Leftist outcry over Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland, arguing it’s in America’s best interest to counter Russian and Chinese influence.
Quote:
"Can you name me one reason why the US purchasing Greenland is a bad thing, leftists? ... Who's got their ships off the coasts of Greenland right now? Oh, Russia." — Mike Crispi [21:00]
Trump Audio:
“We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not… if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland…” — Donald Trump [23:07]
American Military as Global Currency:
The conversation highlights the belief that American dominance is maintained by sheer military power, and international laws are mostly tools to hobble the US ([27:43–29:43]).
Analysis of Venezuela Strategy:
Mike explains why Trump’s approach to Venezuela isn’t “regime change” in the neocon sense, but a pragmatic maneuver to undercut Chinese and Russian influence from securing Venezuelan oil resources ([31:10–37:40]).
“Trump is doing things differently. This is why it's not a neocon move...” — Mike Crispi [37:41]
Timestamps:
Demand for Action:
Mike calls on Trump administration allies Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to prosecute Antifa organizers, seeing them as domestic terrorists responsible for escalating chaos.
“If you want to talk about who killed Renee Goode… the antifa organizer should be responsible for the death of Renee Goode, not the guy that Renee Goode tried to kill with her car and then he shot in self-defense.” — Mike Crispi [40:17]
2026 Midterms Prediction:
Anticipates a surge of anti-ICE protests, likening coming events to summer 2020 unrest, and questions whether Republicans are prepared for it.
"I'm telling you, they're going to start George Floyd style protests around the country leading up to the midterms against ICE..." — Mike Crispi [43:56]
Timestamps:
Mocking Lindsey Graham’s ‘Make Iran Great Again’ Slogan:
The hosts ridicule Graham’s warmongering, suggesting the chaos in Iran is being stoked by globalists aiming for another drawn-out US intervention.
"It just shows how much he's on the take that he just keeps going for war." — Frankie [46:34]
Establishment Politicians as Self-serving:
Mike describes Lindsey Graham’s in-person demeanor as “sad little man,” critiquing establishment Republicans for caring more about donor interests than constituents ([46:58–47:50]).
Calls for Drastic Immigration Policy:
The hosts advocate for a complete immigration moratorium, denaturalization of “anti-American” immigrants, and claim recent immigrants/foreigners have no connection or loyalty to American values ([48:30–52:00]).
"We should have an immigration moratorium and we should do denaturalization of anybody we know...We should denaturalize people immediately. Kick them out of the country." — Mike Crispi [50:47]
Critique of Biden and ‘Build Back Better’:
The episode ends with a critical look at the Biden administration, alleging complicity in mass fraud, and reiterating the “Great Replacement” conspiracy narrative.
Timestamps:
Mike Crispi on Leftist Violence and Media:
"We're dealing with true demonic forces on the left. And it's really starting to rear its ugly head." [03:22]
On Law Enforcement & Violent Confrontations:
"If you try to run them over... these people don’t have good judgment skills, they’re just paid actors." [07:52]
On Trump’s Foreign Policy:
"This is American greatness. This is the American Empire. This is American exceptionalism." [25:22]
On International Law:
"Who wrote international law? ... it was something they put in place to water down the United States, make us play by an unruly standard..." [29:53]
On Immigration:
“We will not have a country anymore. We're gonna be ruled by more people... who now are speaking to us in a position of authority like that.” [50:47–51:38]
This volatile episode is a mixture of sharp right-wing commentary and detailed (if incendiary) analysis of current domestic and international affairs. The focus is on perceived threats to American sovereignty and identity from both internal actors (progressives, media, immigrants) and external forces (China, Russia, globalists). The tone is combative, irreverent, and unapologetically skeptical of mainstream narratives and establishment figures.
